On Saturday January 10th, Wave Girls Ice Hockey suited up for their game but with an additional goal in mind besides winning. The team was playing to raise money for the Bennett Cancer Research Center at Stamford Hospital. The fundraiser being called “Pink in the Rink” the team raised over a thousand dollars through a bake sale and donations. Senior Captain Julia Arrix said it was a “very special event because multiple moms on the team are breast cancer survivors”.
The team beat Greenwich 9-0 at home. Scoring were senior Rebecca Schaffer, juniors Georgia Cassidy, Marissa Baker, and Chandler Kirby, sophomore Cassidy Schiff, and freshman Sally Cassidy. Kirby had a hat trick bringing the score to 9-0. Arrix adds, “Overall everyone played well, specifically the freshman played very consistently and had good scoring opportunities”.
So far the team has a record of 6 wins and 1 loss. Their next game is scheduled for January 14th versus Fairfield Warde/Ludlowe in Fairfield. Be sure to be there at 5 pm this coming Wednesday! Best of luck to the team in their coming games.
